By using the Koubachi Indoor Wi-Fi Plant Sensor, you'll never again forget to water, fertilize or mist your plants! Connected to your Wi-Fi network, the sensor informs you in real-time when your plant needs to be taken care of so that you can react before it's too late. All your data, plants and settings are fully synchronized to the Koubachi Cloud and thus always up to date on all devices (iOS or Android)! Thanks to the unique Plant Care Engine (PCE), Koubachi is able to advise you about everything your plant needs: water, fertilizer, humidity, temperature and light! Koubachi not only tells you WHEN to care for your plants, but also gives you specific instructions HOW. Equipped with a best in class soil moisture sensor, the Koubachi Wi-Fi Plant Sensor provides unmatched accurate measurements. It works like your plants' roots - it measures the exact amount of water that is available to your plants.

• Water Control - Thanks to the highly accurate soil moisture sensor, you'll know exactly when to water your plants. As it monitors your plant over time, you even get recommendations on the ideal amount of water and overwatering alarms.

• Built-in Wi-Fi - No wires needed with the Koubachi Wi-Fi Plant Sensor! It features a built-in Wi-Fi module that is compatible with all protocols (Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g). Communication between the sensor and the Koubachi servers is encrypted.
• Multi Plant - One sensor for all your plants! Put the sensor in one plant, give it a fortnight and Koubachi has learned all it needs to know to provide you with accurate advice. This way you will receive precise care instructions even for plants that currently don't have a sensor.
• Lifelong Free Cloud Service - The Koubachi Plant Care Engine diagnoses your plant's vitality based on our scientific plant care models and sends care instructions and alarms to your iPhone or e-mail inbox.

I purchased this as a gift for my wife. It was easy to setup as long as you just read the directions. It seems to work well as I have received several E-Mails telling me the plant needed light. This is a unique device.
